WASHINGTON, D.C. — Facing growing criticism from his MAGA supporters over alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein, former President Donald Trump on Monday urged his followers to stop focusing on society’s strong hatred of pedophilia.
“It’s time to move on and accept that some people like having sex with minors,” Trump reportedly said, showing frustration that supporters were distracted from his policy achievements.
According to Trump, people should focus on his recent domestic spending bill and his record-high deportation numbers. “Why are we still talking about child abuse? Let it go!” Trump continued. “We’re making America great again. That’s the real story, not who may have been involved with underage girls!”
He insisted that the issue was overblown, comparing it to practices in ancient Greece. Trump even suggested that children sometimes “dress provocatively,” implying they are partly to blame for the abuse.
“Sometimes kids get molested,” Trump added. “Maybe they shouldn’t dress like that. Everyone should focus on our achievements instead of these old accusations.”
Trump also mentioned that he had many friends and business partners over the years who were accused of being pedophiles. He described them as “good, hardworking Americans,” further shocking critics.
At press time, Trump reiterated that the matter was closed and urged his base to concentrate on his vision for America’s future.
